Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A key is a string of bits used to encrypt the data. Secure socket layer and transport security layer are protocols used to encrypt data during transmission, while a firewall is a network security system that controls and monitors incoming and outgoing traffic. However, none of these options provide a specific answer to the question of what encrypts the data, which is a key. Therefore, the best choice is D.
